The Floor Project. (http://frank.plagiarist.com/THE%20FLOOR%20PROJECT.htm) Two rooms down, two rooms to go. Then we start the bathroom. Yikes.

That is a real class act.
Bravo for the initiative.

Man, that's gorgeous. There are few things nicer to look at than a really good hardwood floor, and it looks like you're putting this one in beautifully. Bravo!
(Also, Patty's room is very nice. The bunkbed is cute.)

Question: Doesn't look like you pulled the molding in any of the rooms, and I don't blame you for avoiding that mess. Are you going to drop some half-inch quarter-round to cover your seams, or did you butt the parquet in nice and tight to the walls and call it good?
I'll be putting quarter round down. I haven't mitered anything yet. I'll be putting a T-strip down between rooms and I don't really care if they don't line up perfectly.
ALSO: I ran 750 sqft of pergo style flooring in the homestead last year-ish. That I commiserate with your anguish on this project in no way precludes me from the following: HA-ha! </Muntz>
I did about 400 sq ft of pergo last year in our family room. I thought it was pretty darn easy to lay. Mine was the "floating" kind -- no glue. Also did a vinyl kitchen floor at around the same time.
ALSO ALSO: Hairless arms pix plz!
We'll see. It's growing back, but I'll shave 'em again. It's preferable to pulling out gluey arm hairs for a week.

Beautiful!
